Paul and Barb in the Elgin Parade. Everyone was so friendly. We also participate in parades in Smithville, Bastrop, Elgin, McDade and Rockne.

We support all the youth programs in Bastrop County, here with a young 4H student from CedarCreek. Her strawberry cake was delicious.

The McDade Watermelon Parade and Festival is a wonderful family outing. Our son David and our grandsons Xander and River enjoyed these 100 pound McDade watermelons!
